What all is needed for WiFi support?

…like Apple fanbois on release day.

I read that as, “like Apple fanbois on day release.”

It improved it.

David, just been having a look at the Haiku wifi driver. It does look a good fit:

• RISC OS uses the network stack from 4.4BSD (predecessor of FreeBSD)
• RISC OS uses the USB stack from NetBSD (ie different to FreeBSD)
• The Haiku project seems to manage to disconnect the wifi driver from the rest of FreeBSD, which is good.
• It’s MIT licensed
• It may make it less painful to keep up with mainline FreeBSD

An idea. Debugging things over USB is quite painful. Have you considered first writing a driver for a non-USB device (eg an Atheros PCI card in Iyonix)? That means you can get the wifi stack working and the driver side up, and then port the transport layer over to USB, by which point you’ll have a much better idea how the wifi device works. That assumes the architecture of USB and PCI wifi devices is similar, of course.
